the evidence for the city, which occupied
the time Of the Court up to 2:3O o'clock p.
m, counsel for the defence moved to ex-
clude the testimony. This motion the Court
oyeTruled very promptly. The police Off
GERS who made the arrests on the night OF
March 18th, detailed the trouble occurring
on the premises, the visit of Officer Glenn,
the summoning of his brother officers and
the subsequent raid upon the saloon. Two
inmates of Ann Wooster's house OF Ill
fame, Pearl Davis and Jennie Black, testl-
fed to having been in the house that
night, and both said Robert MuldOon had
caught hold of them in a very peculiar
manner.
About quarter to three o'clock the de-
tense called its first witness, Mr.. Fergus
X. Walsh The evidence of this
witness and others for the defense
went to show that there had been
two girls in the sitting room back of the
bar, but that they had been ordered out by
Mr.. MuldOOn, Sr. After they had gone,
Officer Glenn came to the saloon, and
made his entrance with his club in one
hand and q revolver in the other. He
wanted TO know what was wrong, and was
assured there was no trouble whatever.
Glenn talked to Bob MuldOOn about his
ability to whip Robert, and then went out
on the street and blew his whistle for help,
whereupon four other officers came up and
after threatening to break the door down
they were admitted. Thereupon the Of
ticers put the two boys under arrest and
carted them OIL, and then came back and
took the father Officer Carney came back
q third time and ransacked around behind
the bar. There was $50 in silver there,
but it disappeared. There was no disor-
der or disturbance whatever about the
premises during the evening, and nothing
occurred 10 warrant lle eulItuCc Vi OulSSl
